In 2021, she took part in the fourth edition of The Voice Kids, in which she successfully passed through all the elimination stages on to the final, eventually winning by receiving the highest number of votes from the viewers. In September 2021, she participated in a Polish talent show Szansa na Sukces, which selects the Polish representative at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021. Having qualified to the final round, she performed her song "Somebody" for which she received the most votes from both viewers and jurors and went on to represent Poland at Junior Eurovision.

On 19 December 2021, she performed at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in which she came in second place with 218 points (102 points from online voting and 116 points from the jury).

On 19 February 2022, she performed as a special guest in the TVP show Tu bije serce Europy! Wybieramy hit na Eurowizję, performing her song "Somebody" and Netta's Eurovision song "Toy".

Her performance resonated with the judges and led Simon Cowell to push the Golden Buzzer, sending James directly to the live shows. She proceeded to make it to the finals but was eliminated when the top five contestants were announced. In 2023, she appeared on the show's spin off, America's Got Talent: All-Stars.
